Discuss Which test leads ? Meter without leads in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
As I college student.
I'm still just experimenting with equipment etc.
I have the megger bm223 without the test leads
Can anyone recommend some cheap Test Leads for this. I'm only using these for my home study. Not professional work or anything.
Thanks.
I think so mate. I'm just a college student, so not that much knweldge yet. So I believe it is. But not sure about the max voltage etcAre they not just standard 4 mm test leads ?
I believe it’s an insulation resistance meter so it’s max voltage may well be 1000 volts , this however is most likely limited to 1 milliamp , if there is any chance you will be using this in a work environment you should use GS 38 test leads
The originals would have had straight plugs but these will do the job.

Hi mate
Thanks for that.
Irs say these are suitable for Insulation Resistance testing. Would it be also good for continuity testing ?
And are the GS38 compliant or not? At this stage I'm not fussed about that.
You could always try bidding for these in a couple of days time, but it seems someone else is interested unfortunately!

Which do you recommend ?And bear in mind the difference between fused and unused test leads. It can make a difference, depending on what you are testing.
But always an advantage when someone tries to measure current by placing the leads across positive and negative of a supply!
It doesn't need fused leads, most insulation resistance and continuity testers are normally internally fused for "mishaps".
The ones in my link aren't. Never used an IR/cont tester with fused leads.Indeed. And most multimeters also are fused on their current ranges.
Non-fused leads also avoid any inconsistensy on low ohm ranges when the contacts starting getting aged/tarnished.
I only mentioned it because the ones in the link are fused.

And I only posted that link because they are Megger labelled "2 wire test lead set - insulation testers" including, as it turns out, for the BM seriesI only mentioned it because the ones in the link are fused.
Well the photo of the back of the Megger packet says "Fused test lead set" so the seller is not mis-describing them!I used to use that exact model the plugs were straight and not angled, definitely not fused.
